Second prelims group 3 and group 6. Don't expect any of them to get in realistically.

Only one I see having an outside chance is Koneko (Their strongest girl). Results in a strong group like Group 9 makes it hard to judge true strength (i.e. Chiaki finished way back in 20th in Group 16, but is 5th in this group ahead of some girls that finished 13th in their group).

On the other hand, though, Kaga Rin, who finish 19th in Group 9 (Koneko is 20th by a vote), didn't make the cut. Nagatsuka Saki & Haibara Ai (17th and 18th) both did, but there is a gap b/t 18th and 19th...

Speaking of voting...

I was able to get a code and vote yesterday. Of course, today, it's back to no code...

Is not true. Am able to get on the waitlist, hence able to get the code today again. Earlier was not able to get one from my work computer, but that's not the case for my computer at home...

7-5 (Total 17-7). After going 10-2 first round, the record this round is a lot more normal...

Surprised how bad Inori did. Her result in first round makes it no surprises that she won't make it, but finishing with only 80 votes? Just bad...nice to see Kugyu Atsumi making the cut, although she'll be fodder anyway...

For Laura - 7th Place (Cure Marine) got 139 votes, Laura got 129...hack, Nijou Izumi got 126 and is out. In another word, it's REALLY hard to say whether they "barely make it" sometimes when it's 10 votes separating 7th place from 15th place...(2nd prelim in general is close just b/c of the sheer number of girls involved and the sheer number of girls that one can vote for...)

And why would Hanyuu pass with ease anyway? Higurashi is not what it was...

Now I'm not so sure about former strong characters like Maria, Houki, and Minorin.

They shouldn't have any trouble. And this group is relatively less competitive (They're 4th, 5th, and 6th right now, of course, all it takes is 5 votes for them to go all the way up to 2nd...)

Saki might managed another 3 or 4 characters from this group. Saki already got 7 character in through the first half second preliminaries. There are only around 7 series with 7 or more qualified characters total.
